Our Highfield Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice is designed for people who want to internally quality assure vocational qualifications.

You must have at least two assessors with two candidates each who are studying for a vocational qualification and are registered with an awarding organisation you can quality assure.

If you do not then the Level 4 Award in Understanding Assessment Principles and Practice may be more suitable for you. Internal Quality Assurers (IQA) are in demand internationally and this qualification is essential for anyone undertaking quality assurance in their role.

It is recommended that you hold a recognised level 3 assessor qualification before beginning this qualification.

What does the training include?

Highfield Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice (RQF) is intended for those who wish to gain an understanding of the principles and practices of internal quality assurance without any requirement to practice. The objective of the qualification is to support you in your IQA role in the workplace.

You will learn about the processes and procedures of  IQA including sample planning, report writing, working with Awarding Organisations and improving quality in assessment.

The Award  has 2 mandatory units which must be fully completed to gain the qualification:

  • Understanding the principles and practices of internally assuring the quality of assessment
  • Internally assure the quality of assessment.
How is the qualification assessed?

When you enrol with us, you will be allocated an experienced assessor and receive a textbook (Ann Gravells, Principles and Practices of Quality Assurance: A guide for internal and external quality assurers in the FE and Skills Sector) and resources to support you with your qualification. You will then begin working on unit 1, by completing your theory assignment which is the evidence for the first unit. Your assessor will provide guidance and feedback on your written work.

For unit 2, you will collate work products, for example, IQA reports, sampling plans, meeting minutes, with the guidance of your assessor. Your assessor will also arrange an online face to face observation with you. The observation will be followed by a tutorial, allowing you to work with your assessor to complete your IQA qualification.

With the guidance and support of your assessor, you will complete of a portfolio of evidence that must cover all assessment criteria for the units which includes:

  1. Theory assessment – you must complete a series of activities and  written questions during the session covering all learning outcomes to gain the qualification
  2. Practical assessment-  you will be observed working with a assessor and you must provide work products to demonstrate you competence in internal quality assurance.

This ensures that Best for Training fully meets the observation requirements set by the Awarding Organisation and the Education and Training Foundation.

“All learning outcomes in this unit must be assessed using methods appropriate to the IQA trainee’s performance.”
These must include:

  • observation of performance;
  • examining products of work; and
  •  questioning.

Direct evidence of this kind may be supplemented, where necessary, by professional discussion, reflective accounts or witness testimony. Simulations are not allowed. Remote observation is not acceptable for assessment of IQAs; in other words, the assessor and the trainee IQA must be in the same location at the same time when observations are being carried out.”

The Education & Training Foundation, Qualification Guidance, Assessment and Quality Assurance Qualifications, Page 26

How long is the training for?

The course is for 6 months from enrolment, although many learners complete earlier.

What does the price include?

You will be allocated a named assessor who will provide you with unlimited online support throughout the qualification. You will have a face to face online induction with your assessor to plan your first steps and answer any questions you may have. Further tutorials can be arranged with your assessor, either face to face, online or via telephone, as required.

The price includes:

  • Highly qualified and experienced assessor
  • Course materials, including text book
  • Registration, assessment and certification

There are no hidden charges with this qualification. The face to face online observation with your assessor is included in the price. This ensures that Best for Training fully meets the observation requirements set by the Awarding Organisation and the Education and Training Foundation.

Progression & Opportunities

On successful completion of the IQA qualification, you will  be a qualified Internal Quality Assurer and will be able to apply for IQA roles for your area of occupational competence.

If you are in a position where you are responsible for other IQAs then you may wish to consider Highfield Level 4 Leading Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice. You can achieve this with Best for Training by completing the one additional unit.
